EcoPaXX® Q150-D

EcoPaXX® Q150-D by Envalior is a bio-based, high-performance, low/medium viscosity, long aliphatic polyamide (PA410) based on castor oil. It offers low moisture uptake, good dimensional stability and excellent retention of properties. This food contact quality grade is less damaging to the environment and has the potential to be completely green. It has the usual mechanical properties, but it combines a high melting point of about 250°C (the highest of all biological nylons) and a high rate of crystallization (faster and more efficient production). It possesses stiffness (highest among all long-chain polyamides) and toughness, especially against bending. EcoPaXX® Q150-D also performs reliably in extreme heat and is resistant to chemicals and hydrolysis, which makes it suitable for various demanding applications. It is processed by injection molding. It is used in automotive industry for central flooring, door panels & wheels and coolant expansion tanks.
